Attachment - Honda Marine BF8D Owner's Manual

INSTALLATION
If the outboard motor is installed too
low, the boat will squat and be hard
to plane, it will tend to porpoise, and
high-speed stability will be reduced.
If the outboard motor is installed too
high, that will cause ventilation.
Optimum installation height varies
with boat type and bottom shape.
Contact the boat manufacturer for
any special recommendations that are
unique to a specific model of boat.
If the transom needs to be modified
to accommodate the outboard motor,
contact the boat manufacturer and
follow their recommendations for
corrective action.

BOLT
MOUNTING HOLE
Attach the stern bracket to the boat
transom by tightening the clamp

Attach a rope from the boat to the
hole in the stern bracket. This will
help to prevent accidental loss of the
outboard motor.
You may further secure the outboard
motor by bolting the stern bracket to
the boat transom. Use the optional
mounting bolt and nut kit or other
good quality stainless steel bolts, nuts,
and washers. Apply silicone sealant
